Heidi’s Quotes

“A single thread of hope is still a very powerful thing.”

“We don’t need more facts to find the purpose and kindness and unselfishness we long for; we need a firmly seated faith, a few good friends, and a couple of trustworthy reminders.”
― Bob Goff, Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy.

“Decide in advance that you will do whatever it takes to get your heart right, and then do it- even if it will kill all previous versions of you. You need to ask yourself what makes your heart beat in ways that make you stronger, more courageous, more giving, and more loving. Figure out what makes your heart skip a beat with joy and what makes it miss a beat with disfunction and distraction.”
― Bob Goff, Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy.
